Press Release:
Chromatic Space will illuminate the ways that artists use color to explore the possibilities of space, motion, scale and atmosphere. From the rigorous flatness of hard edge paintings to the celestial expanse of color field works, color can enhance or defy the flatness of the canvas, and activate a work of art in an exciting variety of ways. Dialogues of translucence and opacity, movement and stasis, surface and depth are played out through the use of color in the work of different abstract artists.
